A Selected Group of 
Novelties and Varieties of Recent 
Introduction 
Hybridizers in both Europe and America have been working overtime to produce 
new and better Roses. That they have succeeded in producing literally hundreds oi' 
“new” varieties during the past few years is not to be disputed. Whether the majority 
of their creations are “better” and should make a hasty entrance into American Rose 
commerce is a debatable question. 
Here in northern New Jersey we have tried out many new varieties. The list which 
follows are those which, so far, have been outstanding in both growth and blooming quali¬ 
ties. Their performance has not been judged by the growth of maiden plants in the nur¬ 
sery-row, but w'e have waited several years to note the behavior of established plants in 
our own and other gardens in different regions. We believe they are worthy of a trial 
in the gardens of Rose enthusiasts who are continually seeking improvements over 
older varieties. 
BETTER TIMES. (Jos. H. Hill Co., 1934.) Plant Patent No. 23. Long, rosy red 
buds open to brilliantly colored cerise flowers that are large and double. Delicately 
fragrant. While this fine new Rose has proved to be a valuable greenhouse forcing variety, 
it is equally as valuable as an outdoor garden Rose because of the strong plant consti¬ 
tution of its parents. Excellent for cutting because of its long stems and leathery, dark 
green foliage. No. 1 Grade, $1.50; Extra Grade, $2.00. 
COUNTESS VANDAL. Plant Patent No. 38, assigned to Jackson & Perkins Co., 
Newark, N. Y., 1932. Its long, slender bud of coppery bronze, suffused with soft gold, 
opens very slowly. The finished blooms show a very unusual arrangement of petals, 
with a color combination of silvery salmon-pink and gold. Vigorous, erect. No. 1 Grade, 
$1.00; Extra Grade, $1.25. 
GOLDEN DAWN. (Patrick Grant, 1929.) We consider it the finest new golden yellow 
that has come to our attention lately. The bud is highly colored old-rose and yellow, 
but the flower, when open, is a clear sunflower-yellow. Sweetly fragrant. Very vigorous, 
medium height, bushy. No. 1 Grade, $1.00; Extra Grade, $1.25. 
IMPRESS. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1929.) The large, ovoid bud is a cardinal-red, 
shaded orange; open flower very large and double, salmon-pink, suffused with a luminous 
golden sheen. Very vigorous, erect. No. I Grade, $1.00; Extra Grade, $1.25. 
LUCIE MARIE. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1930.) Splendidly pointed, orange-yellow 
buds, with red vernations. The open bloom show's a magnificent blending of coppery 
yellow with the edge of the petals a golden pink. Sweetly fragrant. Vigorous, erect. 
No. 1 Grade, $1.00; Extra Grade, $1.25. 
MARY HART. (G. B. Hart, 1931.) Plant Patent No. 8. A red sport of Talisman. 
Both the bud and open IIow r er show' a deep velvety maroon-red color that does not fade. 
Mary Hart is just as sturdy and strong a grower as Talisman, and the shape of the bloom 
is exactly the same. Vigorous, erect. No. 1 Grade, $1.00; Extra Grade, $1.25. 
McGREDY’S SCARLET. (S. McGredy & Son, 1930.) This is really a fine, well- 
formed, and truly colored “red” Rose, and so does not exactly tally with the name. 
Deep down inside the red petalage you will find the true scarlet tones. Fragrant. Very 
vigorous, erect and bushy. No. 1 Grade, $1.00; Extra Grade, $1.25. 
MRS. J. D. EISELE. Plant Patent No. 67. So richly scented are the blooms that 
the word “perfumed” describes their intense fragrance most accurately. They have the 
fruity odor of the old garden Roses of fifty years ago. The color is a luscious shade of 
cherry-rose, with a warming glow of scarlet. Individual flow r ers are a magnificent size 
and perfect in every stage of development. The flower opens or unwinds in spiral fashion 
until the open bloom resembles a giant camellia. Excellent keeping qualities w'hen cut. 
No. 1 Grade, $2.00; Extra Grade, $2.25.
